Today, I’m only posting once and so I thought I’d make it an exclamation point kind of post: a roundup of some of my longtime, all-time favorite finds I’ve featured time and time again on le blog. Sort of a Magpie Ultimate Kit. I dreamt up this concept for a post after a Magpie reader approached me in a coffee shop last weekend (thank you again for saying hi!) and half my face was covered with a mask and I realized — she probably recognizes me by virtue of context clues. I was wearing this dress over a tissue turtleneck, Vibi Venezia flats, my pearl mask chain, and my signature OPI Big Apple Red polish. In other words, I was a walking cartoon of myself. Ha! (I also had my main accessory on my arm — Mr. Magpie — and he’s pretty distinctive, too.) Anyhow, today, I thought I’d distill years and years of posts to share some signature Magpie finds.
